Wolves woe will worsen with visit of Reading on Boxing Day

“Then, at the right time, obviously some help from the outside as well is going to be needed, we can see that. Yes, a lot of the players have something and we have a number of good players.”

Afobe key again

Despite losing 2-1 in this fixture last season, Wolves will know that the match could have gone either way, with striker Benik Afobe causing havoc to Reading’s rearguard, getting on the scoresheet for the equaliser.

The former Arsenal youth player is 9/2 to open the scoring and has netted in Wolves’ last two matches, including breaking the deadlock in the 3-2 defeat to Leeds United.

Reading to mount winning streak?

The Royals returned to victorious ways last time out with a 1-0 win over Blackburn Rovers, following four defeats in a row and look to have turned the corner.

Midfielder Daniel Williams grabbed the decisive goal, though attackers Nick Blackman and Orlando Sa have shown they are more than capable of finding the net this term.

A win will have bred confidence among the forward line and, while Williams is 5/1 anytime, there is perhaps more value is Sa at 15/8 in the same market, or Blackman at 11/2 to break the deadlock.
